Dear Editor:
Region 5 Abate will be having a charity ride for the Indiana Make a Wish fund. Rush County is part of this region. The monies raised go directly to grant the wishes of some very ill and deserving children from our region. Our region consists of nine counties so it is possible one of the wishes that will be granted could be from Rush County.
Sign-ins for this ride will take place from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. May 17 at the Sportsman. Kick stands will be up at 1 p.m., picking up riders at First Place in Connersville at 1:30 p.m. We will also make stops in Union and Wayne Counties, ending in Straughn.
At the end of the ride there will be a BBQ dinner, field events, live music by the Dean Cline Band and the Wayne Davis Band along with much more. Children are welcome to attend.
A minimum of $15 a person or $20 a couple will get you into the ride and the event that follows. Children 16 and under are free. Also the first 10 that sign up in Rush County will receive a patch and rocker. People will be riding in from nine different counties to the event in Straughn. We are in great hopes that Rush County will be well represented.
For any more information please call one of the numbers below.
